hello !
i have in my 06 240 sundancer an atwood water heater and it works great .
we plan to do a trip without many harbours and shore power supply so my portable generator will log a lot of hours ( overnight )
its a 1200 watt unit and switching on the heater ( +1400 watts power demand ) overloads and trips the generator. is there a way to adjust the heater the power demand of it is reduced a bit for the cost it will take longer to heat up the water ?
( btw : i place the genny onshore 30- 50 feet away from the boat for CO safety and noise ,i have an additional tank so it will make it overnight . careful loadsharing is needed but it generally works very well )
